Frequently asked questions
Why do slick tyres have no tread grooves?
On a dry track, the smooth surface maximises the amount of rubber in contact with the road, allowing the tyre to generate high grip.
What happens if slick tyres are used in the rain?
Because they have no grooves to clear water, grip can fall rapidly and the risk of aquaplaning increases.
